The name, Parsippany, comes from theLenapeNative American sub-tribe, which comes from the wordparsipanong, which means "the place where the river winds through the valley."[18][22] Parsippany–Troy Hills is the most populous municipality in Morris County.[23] The name Troy Hills was changed from Troy to avoid confusion of mail being sent erroneously toTroy, New York.[24]
Parsippany–Troy Hills was incorporated as a township by an act of theNew Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1928, from portions ofHanover Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 9, 1928, that split off bothEast Hanover Township and Parsippany–Troy Hills from Hanover Township.[25][26][27]
Since 2006, Parsippany–Troy Hills appeared eight times onMoney magazine's list of "Best Places to Live in the United States", ranking 17th-best in 2006, 13th-best in 2008, 15th-best in 2012, 17th-best in 2014, fifth-best in 2016, 33rd-best in 2017,[28][29][30] 26th-best in 2018, and 15th-best in 2022.[31][32]
After theWisconsin Glacier melted around 13,000BCE, half of Parsippany was filled with water, as this wasLake Passaic. Around the area, grasses grew, as the area was tundra, and then turned into a taiga/boreal forest as the area warmed.
Paleo-Indians moved in small groups into the area around 12,500 years ago, attracted by the diversity of plant and animal life.
Native Americans relocated to the area several thousand years ago, dwelling in the highlands and along theRockaway River and theWhippany River, where they hunted and fished for the various game that lived in the area and migrated through the area in autumn. Paintings in a rock cave were found in the late 1970s in western Parsippany in the highlands.
From 1611 to 1614, theNetherlands established the colony ofNew Netherland, which claimed territory between the 40th and 45th parallels north, a zone that included all ofNorth Jersey. Native Americans traded furs and food with the Dutch for various goods, including metal pots, knives, guns, axes, and blankets. Trading with the Native Americans occurred until 1643, when a series of wars broke out between them. There were hostile relations between the Dutch and Native Americans between 1643 and 1660, which prevented the colonization by the Dutch of present-dayMorris County.
On August 27, 1664, threeEnglish ships approached Fort Amsterdam, and surrendered the fort to the English. The English took control of New Netherland, and Morris County was included in the colonial-eraProvince of New York.
Relations with the Native Americans improved briefly after New Jersey's independent establishment. In a war between the Dutch and British ten years later. However, the Dutch retook control of New Amsterdam. A year later, it returned to the British. Relations with the Native Americans and English improved for a while. Settlers fromEngland began moving to the area around 1700. The Parsippany area had flat land and fertile soil, and a fresh water supply, which created a suitable location for successful farming.
From the 1730s until the beginning of the 19th century, present-day Parsippany was known asLake Hiawatha, and included a 2,000 acres (810 ha) slaveplantation. The central street of Lake Hiawatha, Beverwyck Road, references the name of a Dutch slave owner and property manager, Lucas Von Beverhoudt.[33]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 25.35 square miles (65.65 km2), including 23.63 square miles (61.20 km2) of land and 1.72 square miles (4.45 km2) of water (6.79%).[1][2]
Lake Hiawatha and Mount Tabor are neighborhoods with their own ZIP codes. In 2000, 55% of Parsippany residents had a 07054 ZIP code. In 2011, Parsippany residents could live in one of 12 ZIP codes.[39] Until 2000, there was a 13th ZIP code within Parsippany–Troy Hills, which was eliminated with changes at the Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital.

Climate data for Parsippany–Troy Hills (Boonton 1 SE), New Jersey (1991–2020 normals, extremes 1893–present)
Parsippany–Troy Hills lies in the Newark Piedmont Basin. Around 500 million years ago, a chain of volcanic islands crashed into proto North America, riding over theNorth American Plate and creating theNew Jersey Highlands, which start in the western portion of the township. This strike also created land formations in the rest of eastern New Jersey. Around 450 million years ago, a small continent, long and thin, collided with North America, creating folding and faulting in western New Jersey and southern Appalachia.
The swamps and meadows of Parsippany were created when the North American Plate separated from the African Plate. An aborted rift system orhalf-graben was created. The land area lowered between theRamapo Fault in western Parsippany and a fault west ofPaterson. The Ramapo Fault goes through the western part of the township.
TheWisconsin Glacier came into the area around 21,000 BCE and left around 13,000 BCE due to a warming in climate. As the glacier slowly melted, this created rivers, streams and lakes, leaving most of the township underLake Passaic, which was the biggest lake in New Jersey at that time, stretching from the edge of the Ramapo Fault in western Parsippany eastward to almost Paterson.
The area was first a tundra when the Wisconsin Glacier melted and then as the area warmed formed taiga/boreal forests, along with vast meadows. Slowly, Lake Passaic drained and formed swamps in the township;Troy Meadows and Lee Meadows (on the old Alderney Farm tract) are perfect examples. Swamps and meadows next to oak forests created a diverse flora and fauna spectrum.
